Deckmasters Magic The Gathering Cards

Deckmasters: Garfield vs. Finkel, usually known as simply Deckmasters,
was a set created in 2001 to showcase the epic match between Richard
Garfield, the creator of the card game, and Jon Finkel, a Magic World
Champion. Two decks were included in the set, a red/green deck that
Richard Garfield used, and a red/black deck that was played by Finkel.
This set was created to let players relive this famous match. It is the
fifth compilation set.

The match was held in January 2002. About a year before, Wizards of
the Coast challenged both of them to build a deck out of Ice Age and
Alliances cards to compete against each other with. They were given
very strict criteria to build these decks such as each deck could only
use four rare cards, and no more than two copies of any one card. Some
cards were banned for the purpose of this event such as Kjeldoran
Outpost.

Finkel won match one because Garfield misplayed the current timing
rules at least twice during the course of the game. Garfield joked,
"Shouldn't we be playing by the rules as I made them?" In the second
match, Garfield was defeated by lack of mana. "This is the first time I
am sitting up here and am honestly unhappy that my opponent is
manascrewed," Finkel confessed. Garfield could only watch as he was
dominated by Finkel's Balduvian Horde.
